Join the Friday Fiesta!

If you haven’t tried our Friday brunch at Salero Tapas & Bodega, then you’re in for a treat! With a feast of both traditional and contemporary dishes, the food on offer at Salero gives guests an all-round experience of España. To wash down the numerous authentic tapas and paella, guests are served fruity and refreshing Sangria, something that has become an international known export from Spain.

Time for Tea

Although tea has been drunk around the world for centuries, the concept of Afternoon Tea only derived in England in 1840 when the then Duchess of Bedford kept finding herself hungry in between lunch and dinner. She would request tea, some cake and a slice of bread and butter to be brought up to her chambers to keep her going until dinnertime and, once her friends found out, it soon turned into a social must-do! Ladies of high standing would then dress up and gather around 4pm to snack on delicious cakes, sandwiches and tea.

Valentine's Day Traditions

Valentine’s Day is fast approaching; a time when loved ones around the world exchange cards, flowers and small gifts to show their love for one another. There are many legends behind the history of Valentines Day, with several different saints and historical figures being called St. Valentine.

How to stick to your New Year’s Resolutions

Are you one of those people who always plan New Year’s resolutions, but by the end of January you are no longer following them? Well, don’t worry, you’re not alone! Only around 10% of those who make New Year’s resolutions actually stick to them and this is mostly due to their new goals being too unrealistic or undefined. For example, saying you will simply exercise more will not work; you should say you will exercise at least three times a week. That way, you have a defined goal to reach and monitor.

A festive season Dubai style!

Keeping up with the Stollen traditions this season!

Creating tradition is part of the manner in which Kempinski passes on its unique corporate culture to each new member joining the Kempinski family. A shared tradition and culture helps unite the many diverse customs and backgrounds the Kempinski brand embraces and helps capture the essence of the Kempinski experience in order that it may be shared with our guests.

A day in the life of Konstantin, General Manager

6.45 am: I wake up and start making breakfast for my family. Mornings are the time when I catch up with my kids. I also drop them to school, which gives us an additional 20-30 minutes (depending on the Dubai traffic!) to share news and enjoy time together. Being able to spend quality time with my family is really important for me, and a great way to start my morning!

Chef Sudqi’s Culinary Travels

Three years ago, our talented Chef Sudqi was chosen as one of Kempinski’s top 4 Executive Chefs and invited to promote Arabic cuisine in Munich, Germany. As you might know, Munich is the heart of Bavaria, where life is surrounded by Weissbier, Weisswurst, football and of course the world famous Oktoberfest. Munich is also a famous summer destination for Arabic guests, and our sister property Kempinski Hotel Vier Jahreszeiten wanted to welcome their Arabic guests with something special over the summer.

Salero’s end of summer recipes

This week we took a look behind Salero’s bar counter and had a chat with our Bar Manager, Juan. As the weather is cooling down and the BBQ and outdoor season starts, we wanted to know what his favourite family friendly Spanish Classic beverages are!
